Rutherford recreation baseball to raise funds on Saturday, March 29

Rutherford Little League players in uniform will canvass the borough on Saturday, March 29, raising funds to help support the League's baseball programs that serve over 300 borough children.

Registration and sponsor fees do not come close to covering all the expenses of a 26-team baseball league, which has received no financial support from the borough or the school system since its founding in 1951. Donations may be handed to the Little Leaguer in uniform who appears at your doorstep on Saturday, or checks payable to Rutherford Little League may be mailed to P.O. Box 427, Rutherford, N.J. 07070. Please do not send cash in the mail.

Rutherford Little League, Inc., is an IRS-approved 501 (c) (3) non-profit educational organization committed to teaching the ideals of sportsmanship and fair play through the sport of baseball. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The 2014 season opens Saturday, April 5. The parade steps off from Lincoln Park at 9:30, and it will be followed by ceremonies at Tom Mellody Field at Memorial Park, and three Major level games featuring players aged 9 through 12. Softball, in association with the Rutherford Recreation Department, opens the same day.
